My daughter had an old horse named Walter who was very lonely, so she bought him a companion named Teddy the donkey. They hit it off immediately and played in the pasture for years together. Walter found new energy and spunk playing with Teddy.
Until the morning they went to the corral and found this…Walter lay dying as Teddy stroked his face and let him know he was loved until he died.
I was asked if she bought another donkey since she loved Teddy so much, well she bought two more, which led to a few more in what became her herd. The picture I posted was actually a snipet of a short video my daughter sent and I just got it to load.
However when my daughter heard I posted the story about Walter and Teddy she offered me this final picture. As my SIL buried Walter in the back pasture. Teddy watched closely and the family kept a respectful distance as Walter was laid to rest.
